What Do Kids Eat?

Want Healthy Eating Kids?  Do your kids struggle eating Veggies?  Make them a salad they will love!  Healthy Mama has great suggestions about ways that you can make salads for your kids.

Waiting in the bus line in the morning?  Looking for a way to bring breakfast with you?  Adapt these Kid Snacks by putting fruit and cereal into a foil ball.

Homemade Waffles are super easy to make – my six year old’s favorite thing to cook by herself.  We top them with peanut butter, yogurt and fruit.

Eating well with Kids is easy when you make smoothies.  The smoothie pictured is great for breakfast using nuts, oatmeal and bananas.  You can also make smoothies with veggies – our favorite are Kale Smoothies.

Looking for an After School Snack for kids?  This Chocolate Chip Dip tastes great with pretzels – the recipe is low-sugar and high in fiber.  It is made primarily from beans.

Help your kids eatwell by helping them make wise food choices.  This plate format is great for telling kids what portions they need to eat.

Make Macaroni and Cheese a healthy option for kids and make it yourself from scratch – avoid the preservatives from the box varieties.

Moms throughout the ages have given a LOT of advice.

I remember when I was in grade school my mom started exercising and drinking 8 glasses of water a day.  I can still picture that blue semi-opaque glass that was perpetually by the sink.

Drink more water!

We are excited to be a part of Mom's Pure Wisdom on Nestle Pure Life Facebook Page.  

Stop by and share some mom wisdom {or see what other moms recommend}.

Go!  I am a mom and I say so :).
